Got a new hp computer recently, windows 8 and McAfee Security etc.  Since the outset it has been annoyingly pop-up city (driving  me MAD!) and more importantly I am getting far too many with sexual content in it - so much so I was finding this very offensive - I signed on again as a child so I could get protection from the 'family security' I've put on for the kids - next time I went on here I got 2 very offensive ads about women - not pop ups but full screen versions once I'd X clicked off the screen I was on.

I've done some security checks in the Tools / Security thing and clicked for High level etc, but it doesn't seem to be making a difference.  I spend most of my time clicking off adverts rather than reading something I've googled.  It's driving me really mad.  Anyone any thoughts?

Sounds like your system has a virus thats loaded when you start up your computer.
I can only pass on information from another forum I use. Their standard recommendation is to download malwarebytes trial and use that to clear your computer.  It can be used on a 30 day trial if you dont plan to buy it.

From the feed back they get it seems to clear up many of the problems..

Have you got the pop-up blocker switched on?  On Windows 7 it's a tick box on the Privacy Page under Tools => Internet options

Agreed with above but also download adblocker - it's free.

I've had similar and Malwarebytes got rid of it for me. I'll try adblocker as well. Get far too many ads.
